We have a 2yo we're trying to teach both Finnish (which has near-perfect letter/sound correspondence) and English (barf). But many English words are learned purely by sight ("one", "two", and myriad others), so I want to teach English spelling by using the correct letters but with visual cues (i.e. letter-level CSS styling) about which letters are not pronounced, or pronounced not as they look. Has anyone else tried this ? Would love to trade notes.
